the old tex put the man pages (both of them) in /sys/man/1pub.
one could just as easily put them in /sys/man/1.

i hope we don't reinvent the 1000 bin directories of unix.  it's all
so cute having /bin /usr/bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /opt/$fu/bin.
but ever so useless.  i have been on systems where the fact that
/usr/yp/bin (or whatever it was) wasn't in the default path was used
as a "security" mechanism.  but that points to the real problem.
it's just too archane an alchemy for users to remember.

i vote for putting the binaries in /$objtype/bin or /$objtype/bin/tex.
in the latter case, it would be tex/tex or tex/mf.
